Explore popular spots in the Asahikawa, Biei, and Furano areas with a well-rounded day trip plan. Visit Asahiyama Zoo, famous for its “behavioural exhibits” that allow you to see animals in their natural behaviours, offering a unique experience of vitality and presence.
Admire the vast, scenic landscapes of Biei Patchwork Road, where fields divided like a chessboard create a patchwork quilt of crops. Enjoy iconic views, including the Seven Star Tree and the Ken and Mary Tree, often featured in advertisements.
Take a stroll around the Blue Pond in Biei, known for its mystical cobalt blue colour, formed as a natural phenomenon after the eruption of Mount Tokachi. The area is mesmerising, and the river water is also blue when you venture further.
And, explore the flower fields at Farm Tomita in Furano, famous for its colourful landscapes and seasonal flower displays, especially lavender, which blooms from mid to late July.
